Aaron looks for the lost Confederate town of Long Tom outside of Eugene Oregon in Joseph Lanes County.
Long Tom is the name of a sluice box used by Gold Miners. Aarons not sure but this would make since that the River was named after the tool because many of Oregons settlers where Southern sympathizing Gold Miners.

True Confederate here, thanks for the lesson.  Was Philip Mulkey a relative or yours? Close (direct) or shirt tail?

[adb024]

@Swifive I think he hung out with some of my shirttails or maybe married them. Need to do some more research. He definitely did a lot for the Oregon Country.

Was that railroad a victim to the collapsing economy?

[adb024]

@LordoftheKaty In a way yes but a couple of years before the housing crisis. I consider the collapsing economy in Oregon started in the 80s never has recovered.

@1x93cm Thanks wish it was a Stetson but I havent found a straw one that fits my big head nicely.

Like the hat Aaron, I think the guy was sleeping in his tent.

Right on... won't be long until we are settlers in the wilderness again...

@adb024 You're absolutely right. All we are given these days is revisionist history and you can bet we're not given the truth.

@adb024 I figure we'll see more railroads being abandoned and increasing unemployment if the Bilderberg's have their way and bring in a North American Union, since the gov will relocate industry, what isn't already destroyed by the collapsing dollar
